Cooperative Multitasking with Twisted “Getting Things Done Concurrently” David Reid

Alternate Title
Alternate Title How I learned to stop worrying (about threads)
and use timed events to yield to the reactor so that synchronous tasks can cooperate with each other in a single thread.

Things will block
Fine in moderation
So what blocks?
Non-twisted networking
Non-twisted networking urllib & httplib smtplib python-memcached
Non-twisted networking twisted.web.client twisted.mail.smtp twisted.protocols.memcache
C Extensions
C Extensions DB-APIs: psycopg2, sqlite Hard math: PyCrypto socket.gethostbyname
C Extensions twisted.enterprise deferToThread deferToThread/twisted.names
File I/O
File I/O Yeah ... pretty much all of it.
The for loop.

• Similar to coiterate • Returns a CooperativeTask instead of
a Deferred cooperate

• Your code is going to block. • Iterating over
stuff is a big place where synchronous code blocks for unacceptable periods of time. • Iterating is easily broken up by timed events. • Twisted comes with APIs for making this easy. • These APIs are the building blocks for your ideal task system.
Questions (Mine, not yours.)
Why?
Why? Being able to do more stuff is sometimes more
important than doing stuff quickly. * * Making a single user’s request 10ms faster is great, but not if you can only handle 1 request at a time.
Why call later instead of next iteration?
Why call later instead of next iteration? Timed events are
more flexible and you need them anyway.
Can’t I just use deferToThread for python code?
Can’t I just use deferToThread for python code? Yes, but
the GIL hates you.
Can’t I just use deferToThread for python code? Yes, but
the GIL hates you. It’s OK, it hates me too.
Can’t I just run code in a separate processes?
Can’t I just run code in a separate processes? Yes,
look at Ampoule.
Can’t I just run code in a separate processes? Yes,
look at Ampoule. But you probably want those processes to do more than one thing too.
